This paper investigates the interpersonal meanings in Chinese cosmetic advertising discourse from mood, modality and appraise the three aspects. Based on an exploratory study of data of six typical Chinese cosmetic advertising discourses, the paper claims that the distribution of mood and modality has close link with the interpersonal meaning in advertising.

There is not only the same aspect, but also the differences. Moreover, some factors such as geographical environment, public sentiment custom, thinking mode, religious belief, and national psychology also influence it. Each kind of color is regarded the difference for every nation's person. This article analyzes and investigates the associative meaning of the color in the Chinese and English cultures. And then it will let the reader learn well and more the associative meaning under the different cultural background.展开更多

According to the Graded Salience Hypothesis, processing familiar metaphors should involve the activation of both their metaphoric and literal meanings, regardless of the type of context in which they are embedded. Processing less familiar metaphors should activate the literal meaning in both types of contexts; however, in the literally biased context, it should be the only one activated. Processing familiar idioms in context biased towards the idiomatic meaning should evoke their figurative meaning almost exclusively, because their figurative meaning is much more salient than their literal meaning. However, processing less familiar idioms in an idiomatic context should activate both their literal and idiomatic meanings because both meanings enjoy similar salience status.展开更多

For given positive integers n(≥ 2), p and for a constant H satisfying H 〉 1 there exists a negative number τ(n,p, H) ∈ (-1, 0) with the property that if the sectional curvature of N is pinched in [-1, τ-(n,p, H)], and if the squared length of the second fundamental form is in a certain interval, then N^n+p is isometric to the hyperbolic space H^n+P(-1). As a consequence, this submanifold M is congruent to S^n(1√H^2 - 1) or the Veronese surface in S^4(1/√H^2-1).展开更多

It is a generalization of the result due to G.Huisken and C. Sinestrari in. These apriori bounds are satisfied for mean convex hypersurfaces in locally symmetric Riemannian manifolds with nonnegative sectional curvature.展开更多

In the aging experience of women, there are three social age markers that participate directly in the construction of their identity as women during old age: menopause, work and widowhood. The present paper reports the results of a research on widowhood in old age and the experience of aging in elderly women in Chile. Through a qualitative methodological strategy, in depth biographic interviews were held with elderly people who were widowed after reaching 60 years of age, centering the analysis on its meanings on the body, health and death in old age, highlighting sociocultural aspects of the aging and widowing processes. Approaching widowhood in old age shows us not only a person who has lost a husband, but also what it means to be an elderly woman in a life experience continuum that also brings about key changes to understand the aging process of people, because marital relations can get to be determining factors for the construction of the identity of women and their experience of the aging process.展开更多
